Lee Ryan only left the Celebrity Big Brother house two days ago and already he’s helping out with the hiring for the next series – backing his Blue bandmate Duncan James for a spot in the house.

The Blue singer has had the full support of his bandmates Duncan, Antony Costa and Simon Webbe since day one of his stint in the CBB house, and now he feels it’s time to return the favour.

When grilled on another member of Blue entering the famous compound for a three-week stint when the time comes for the next series of the Channel 5 show, Lee said Duncan would make the best television.

‘Antony would be good as he actually does think before he speaks. Simon would be great,’ Lee told Emma, before adding: ‘Duncan would be fantastic ’cause he’d f***ing hate it.’

He continued: ‘Duncan would be great because he’d go mental and everyone would really enjoy to watch his misery. Simon and Antony would enjoy it but Duncan would hate it so I’d say he’s the best person to put on Big Brother!’
